Re: One question about change port to 80
Thank you. That is just the copy/paste mistake. Even the file is right: Connector port=8080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 connectionTimeout=2 redirectPort=8443 / It still does not work. I tried iptables -F. It still does not work. And I tried to install apache httpd on the server. It could work on port 80 and there is no problem for apache. By the way, when I changed the port to . I could see that the tomcat is listening on but I cannot connect to it. Only 8080 works. Thank you for the helps. best, gavin On Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 3:31 PM, Caldarale, Charles R chuck.caldar...@unisys.com wrote: From: Yue Yuanyuan [mailto:yue.yuany...@gmail.com] Subject: One question about change port to 80 The server.xml file was modified to Connector port=80 protocol=HTTP/1.1 nnector port=8080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 connectionTimeout=2 redirectPort=8443 / Well, that 'nnector port=8080' you've got in there doesn't look particularly attractive...

Re: One question about change port to 80
I think i figure out what is going on. I need to run tomcat using root. But even I su to root and start tomcat using /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start. It stills runs under tomcat users. So how could I run it using root? Thank you.

Best, Gavin That's an article from 2007. Things have moved on since then. Unless you really need HTTPD for some reason - you'll know if you do - Tomcat is perfectly adequate and serves static files just as fast as HTTPD.

Re: One question about change port to 80
It is running. I did iptables now it works fine. I also did test on my ubuntu. There is no problem. I just do not get it why I run the tomcat using ROOT, but still I do not have the privilege to bind 80 port. 2010/6/30 Pid p...@pidster.com On 30/06/2010 21:51, Yue Yuanyuan wrote: is it a good idea to use vhost like this : http://www.javathinking.com/2007/10/tomcat-with-apache2-virtual-hosts/ Thank you.

You are running the script /etc/init.d/tomcatx.y as root. But that script does not run Tomcat directly. It runs jsvc, which runs Tomcat as another user (probably tomcat, check with ps -ef). Examine the script /etc/init.d/tomcatx.y, to see what it does. It is a good way to run Tomcat, so don't change it. By the way, that script is not a part of the official Tomcat distribution from http://tomcat.apache.org. It is a script created by the people who packaged Tomcat for CentOS. So not many people here know what it really does. 2010/6/30 Pid p...@pidster.com On 30/06/2010 21:51, Yue Yuanyuan wrote: is it a good idea to use vhost like this : http://www.javathinking.com/2007/10/tomcat-with-apache2-virtual-hosts/ Thank you.
